Grace Potter was raised in rural Vermont by parents who were seeking a different way of life, one with an emphasis on the arts and a connection to the land. Thanks to her parents’ extensive record collection, Grace grew up listening to a lot of soul and gospel by artists like the Staple Singers and Mahalia Jackson. You can still hear those influences in her music now, even as she’s created her own distinctive bluesy sound. Often compared to Bonnie Raitt or Janis Joplin, Grace has a powerful voice and the stage presence to match. And now she has a new album called Medicine that’s actually not new at all. It was produced with T Bone Burnett 17 years ago before her record label decided to shelve it in favor of a different direction. And even though it was recorded when she was just 24, it sounds as fresh and timely as if she cut it yesterday. Sid talks to Grace about the vision issues that shaped the way she sees the world, the impact of motherhood on her songwriting, and how she’s preparing to sing the national anthem at the 2025 Kentucky Derby.

After more than 40 years as one of the most popular and recognizable voices in country music, during which he earned a pile of Grammys and a rightful place in the Country Music Hall of Fame, Randy Travis is a household name who has inspired legions of fans. A few weeks ago I was fortunate to sit down with Randy and his wife, Mary, at their home in Nashville and to hear their incredible—and incredibly difficult—story. After a near-fatal stroke impaired his ability to speak and stole his singing voice in 2013, Randy had to overcome serious odds to rebuild his life and career. Now, thanks to his longtime producer, Kyle Lehning, and the advances of AI technology, Randy Travis has gotten his voice back. The bond he and Mary share is a big part of what’s made his comeback possible, and it also helped us to have this conversation about their life together. Sid talks to Randy and Mary about his new song, “Horses in Heaven,” the new biopic based on his life, Forever and Ever. Amen, and how he’s reaching the next generation of fans.

Episode Description: Since 1985, Emily Sailers and Amy Ray have been known as the Indigo Girls, and they’ve never once stopped making music or sharing their message of acceptance. The two met when they were kids in Decatur, Georgia,, and once they started playing together in high school, it didn’t take long for their unique sound to find an audience—first regionally, then nationally, and eventually worldwide. Last summer, when their hit song “Closer to Fine” was featured prominently in the movie Barbie, they seemed to catch fire with a whole new generation, and now they’re back with a slew of new projects. A documentary called It’s Only Life After All delves into their lives, their struggles, and their activism; a rom-com called Glitter & Doom is set to their music; and of course there’s some new songs. Sid also asks about Emily’s longtime passion for food and cooking, the bar in Atlanta where they got their start, and what it’s been like to endure as openly gay artists in the South and the music industry.

Craig Morgan is that rare country artist who actually grew up around Nashville, but he also breaks the mold in a lot of other ways. After finishing high school in Kingston Springs, just west of downtown Nashville, Craig joined the Army for what would become a long, intense, and distinctive military career. As a member of the 101st and 82nd Airborne divisions, he parachuted into the jungles of Panama and fought sex traffickers in Thailand, among other dangerous assignments. But despite his commitment to the armed services, he always had a yearning to play music. Craig found himself writing songs based on his experiences, and thanks to the encouragement of a Colonel who thought he had an extraordinary talent, he made the leap to the music business. Now, he has a successful career, a dedicated fan base, and a body of work largely defined by his commitment to God, Family, and Country —which happens to be the name of his memoir. Sid talks to Craig about how much he loves his mom’s biscuits and gravy, his new EP called American Soundtrack, and the way a family tragedy led him to write a song that’s touched so many people.

Landon Bryant stopped by the Southern Living offices recently, and it was for the staff to meet him in person after a couple of years watching his hilarious videos on our accents, traditions, quirks, and why we have endless recipes for potato salad. Landon was born and raised in the small town of Laurel, Mississippi, a close-knit community that was made famous in recent years by past guests Erin and Ben Napier—whom Landon happens to know. His great-grandmother was a major influence on him, but it was his wife, Kate, who encouraged him to start sharing his opinions about Southern identity on Instagram. Now, he’s come out with a new book, Bless Your Heart: A Field Guide to All Things Southern, that distills his unique perspective into a clever, smart, and deeply entertaining guide to the culture. Landon talks to Sid about the time he went to high school in a Walmart, his experience as an art teacher, his openness about struggles with ADHD, and just what exactly got him in hot water when talking about deviled eggs and grits.

Wright Thompson grew up in Clarksdale, Mississippi, before going on to write for ESPN, The Atlantic, and the New York Times, among other publications. In 2018, he created the travel documentary show, TrueSouth , which is now in its 8th season on the SEC Network; and in 2020, he came out with a terrific book called Pappyland: A Story of Family, Fine Bourbon, and the Things That Last . Wright’s latest book, The Barn: The Secret History of a Murder in Mississippi, examines the lasting impact and legacy of the Emmett Till murder, as well as the extraordinary efforts by some to obscure or distort the facts. It’s one of the best books I’ve read in a long time, incredibly well researched and reported, and told with the insights that only a Mississippian could bring to the story. Sid talks to Wright about the remarkable journey of Emmett Till’s cousin, Wheeler Parker, who was there the night of the abduction; the strong connection between the Mississippi Delta and Chicago; and why it took so many decades for the secrets of this horrendous crime to come to light.

Riley Green got his start playing in bars and restaurants around his hometown of Jacksonville, Alabama—and lately he’s been performing in stadiums for tens of thousands. He grew up with a close relationship with his two grandfathers, who were influential in his early musical development and who fueled his passion for the outdoors. His song "I Wish Grandpas Never Died," a tribute to both of them, was a major hit back in 2019, and more recently he’s recorded a couple of duets with Ella Langley – one of which, “you look like you love me,” won a CMA Award last year. In some ways, Riley has gone back to his roots by opening a bar called the Duck Blind in Nashville, which has become a favorite hangout for some of the biggest names in country music. Sid talks to the rising star about the influence of his Southern upbringing, his love of Jacksonville State football, and his new song, “Jesus Saves.” For more info visit: southernliving.com/biscuitsandjam Biscuits & Jam is produced by: Sid Evans - Editor-in-Chief, Southern Living Krissy Tiglias - GM, Southern Living Lottie Leymarie - Executive Producer Michael Onufrak - Audio Engineer & Editor/Producer Jeremiah McVay - Producer Learn more about your ad choices.

You may know Roy Wood Jr. from his long stint on The Daily Show , his new CNN comedy show Have I Got News For You , or from his new standup special Lonely Flowers , which you can watch on Hulu.

Roy lives in New York now, where he often appears on late night talk shows, but he built his career in the South. He studied broadcast journalism at Florida A&M in Tallahassee and worked as morning news reporter in Birmingham, but his true passion was going out on the road for weekend gigs at comedy clubs around the region.

Meanwhile, Drew Nix, who plays guitar and writes a lot of the songs, grew up further north, in Birmingham.

Since 2016, Fawn Weaver has been obsessed with uncovering the true story of Nearest Green, a former slave who helped teach Jack Daniel the complicated process of making whiskey. Along the way, Fawn became so invested in her research that she bought the farm in Lynchburg, Tennessee, where Jack Daniel and Nearest Green worked together, and she’s since launched the Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey brand, which is winning awards and making serious waves in the spirits business. Fawn stopped by the Southern Living offices on her recent book tour, so we had this conversation in our studio, and her personal journey is just as amazing as the man she’s writing about. Her new book, now a New York Times bestseller, is called Love & Whiskey: The Remarkable True Story of Jack Daniel, His Master Distiller Nearest Green, and the Improbable Rise of Uncle Nearest . Sid talks to Fawn about the process of reporting this incredible book, the foundation she created for Nearest Green’s descendants, and why she grew up with people like Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson at her kitchen table.

Episode Description: Cody Johnson was born and raised in a little place called Sebastopol, Texas, about a half hour northeast of Huntsville. It was the kind of small community where everybody knew everybody, and his family went to a small country church where his musical interest and skill found an audience. When he was 18, he went to work with his father in the prison system, an intense experience that taught him a lot about how to read people, and one that also found its way into his songs. And if all that weren’t enough for his Texas credentials, he also got into bull riding and has more recently put his passion into team roping and breeding cutting horses. As for his music, he’s been racking up CMA, CMT, and other awards, he has a new song called “That’s Texas” that is lighting up audiences far outside the Lone Star State, and his growing career has him collaborating with the likes of Carrie Underwood. Sid talks to Cody about why he got a tattoo on the bottom of his foot, why he’s at a point in his career when he can truly embrace his Texas identity, and a funny story about his grandmother’s banana pudding.

Brenda Lee spent the early years of her life in Georgia, and though her family didn’t have a lot of money, they always made sure she had batteries to run the radio so she could listen to the Grand Ole Opry. Between that and singing at their Baptist church, her interest in music became clear, and her extraordinary talent became even clearer. She was still a kid when her mother moved the family to Missouri so she could be a part of a TV program called Ozark Jubilee , and she was signed to Decca Records soon after that. Over the next handful of years, she set a record for the number of top 10 hits by a woman, and she also recorded one of the most famous Christmas songs of all time when she was just 13 years old: “Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree.” Sid talks to Brenda about her own Christmas traditions, her friendships with artists like Tanya Tucker and the late Kris Kristofferson, and her thoughts on the increased prominence of women in music over the course of her long career.

Kelsey Barnard Clark was raised in Dothan, Alabama, which is a short drive from the Gulf Coast. But it wasn’t until she spent several years living in fast-paced New York City and working in the even faster-paced kitchens of Michelin-star restaurants that she truly appreciated her hometown.

She won Season 16 of Bravo’s Top Chef, becoming the first Southerner to ever triumph on the show; she opened KBC, her catering company and restaurant that became a James Beard Award semi-finalist this year; and she’s done more than her part to revitalize downtown Dothan.

Tyler Florence is a Southern chef and Food Network star who, after 16 previous cookbooks, is finally releasing one that focuses on his passion for grilling. Tyler has been working in restaurants since he was a teenager in Greenville, South Carolina. Since then he’s lived and worked in Charleston, New York City and, for more than a decade now, California – where he and his partners run several high profile restaurants. But as Tyler likes to say, “you can take the boy out of the South, but you can’t take the South out of the boy.” And now in addition to his restaurants, a food festival tour, and his extensive run of shows on the Food Network, his new book rekindles his love of cooking outside. It’s called American Grill: 125 Recipes for Mastering Live Fire, and it’s fair to say Tyler is fired up about it. Tyler talks to Sid about why it took him a while to get around to this one, the way he discovered his interest in cooking at a young age, plus the absolute best way to grill a streak.

Plus, he talks about his new album, Hill Country Love (out 4/5/24), which is infused with his own unique spin on the sound that his grandfather helped define.

José Andrés was born and raised in Spain and has brought his love of Spanish cuisine to successful restaurants in New York City and Washington DC.

In this episode, José talks to Sid about the many kitchens of his childhood, how cooking for those in peril is both an act of relief and a chance to learn, and how longer tables are perhaps the closest thing to a perfect place on Earth.

In this week’s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Miranda Lambert, a woman who’s fearlessly blazed her own path through country music. Growing up in small town Texas, where there were seemingly more churches than people, she encountered every aspect of life thanks to her supportive parents and family. Her loving parents were private investigators and often opened their home to clients and other people in need – especially women who needed a safe place to escape to. And these encounters provided inspiration for much of the world weary songwriting that may have sometimes outpaced her own lived experience early in her career. But while she’s been standing firmly on her own two feet for a while now, she still has an impressive intergenerational support system of women who back up her confidence and now she’s got a cookbook that pays homage to them.

Lucinda Williams was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, a place she would memorialize in one her most famous songs. But she didn’t stay there for long, moving with her folks to a string of college towns where her father taught poetry and literature. Her peripatetic life and her mother’s mental illness led to a sometimes difficult childhood, but music gave her an outlet, and her raw, honest lyrics have made her one of the most celebrated singer-songwriters to ever come out of the South. Despite three Grammy’s and countless other awards, she’s never fit neatly into any particular genre, and she never wanted to. Now she has a new memoir called Don’t Tell Anybody the Secrets I Told You, and a new album called “Stories From a Rock and Roll Heart” – her first since having a stroke back in 2020.

Jason Isbell was born to parents who were still teenagers in a small town in North Alabama, and as a result he spent a lot of time with his grandfather, who was a Pentecostal preacher and a guitar player.

In this week’s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Aaron Franklin, the proprietor of a barbecue spot that’s become so well-known that President Obama visited there back in 2014.

That’s also when he got into playing the music that led him to move to Austin, where he eventually took his barbecue skills from backyards to a trailer to a restaurant. He also shares about his grandfather’s influence on him, the building of Franklin Barbecue – and the rebuilding of it after a fire – plus his third cookbook, ‘Franklin Smoke,’ and plenty more.

In this week’s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Jason Isbell, , a four-time Grammy-Award-winner who’s known as one of the best songwriters of his generation. Jason Isbell was born to parents who were still teenagers in a small town in North Alabama, and as a result he spent a lot of time with his grandfather, who was a Pentecostal preacher and a guitar player. By high school he was immersed in the music culture of Muscle Shoals, and in his early 20s he was playing to sold out crowds with the Drive By Truckers. As a solo artist, Isbell has become known as a poet of the rural South who’s not afraid to speak his mind. Now he’s got a terrific new album called ‘Weathervanes,’ a collection of songs that continue his tradition of storytelling with an edge. They'll also discuss his grandmother’s cornbread, how to ring a chicken’s neck, and his experience as an actor in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming movie, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon.’ For more info visit: southernliving.com/biscuitsandjam Biscuits & Jam is produced by : Sid Evans - Editor-in-Chief, Southern Living Krissy Tiglias - GM, Southern Living Lottie Leymarie - Executive Producer Dominique Arciero - Audio Engineer/Producer Jeremiah McVay - Script Editor Jennifer Del Sole - Director, Audio Growth Strategy & Operations Learn more about your ad choices.

In this week’s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Miranda Lambert, a woman who’s fearlessly blazed her own path through country music. Growing up in small town Texas, where there were seemingly more churches than people, she encountered every aspect of life thanks to her supportive parents and family. Her loving parents were private investigators and often opened their home to clients and other people in need – especially women who needed a safe place to escape to. And these encounters provided inspiration for much of the world weary songwriting that may have sometimes outpaced her own lived experience early in her career. But while she’s been standing firmly on her own two feet for a while now, she still has an impressive intergenerational support system of women who back up her confidence and now she’s got a cookbook that pays homage to them.

In this week’s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Steven Satterfield. Raised in Savannah, Georgia, he grew up as the only member of his family allowed in his grandma’s kitchen. But while he was interested in cooking from a young age, in a way, it was his time as a touring musician in the ‘90s dream pop band, Seely, that led him to be a career restaurant worker. He went on to open a James Beard recognized restaurant called Miller Union in Atlanta and just released his second cookbook, ‘Vegetable Revelations.’ Through it all, though, collaboration proved to be key, though it also doesn’t hurt that he got to meet Mick Jagger.

In this week’s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Lauren Daigle, a musician who began her career as a Christian artist, but who’s more recently become a crossover sensation. Lauren Daigle grew up in Lafayette, Louisiana, where she enjoyed fishing with her dad, dancing to Cajun music with her grandparents, and rooting for LSU with her entire family. And while the rich musical traditions of Cajun country influenced her, it was really the two years she spent sick and homebound as a teenager that led her to pursue her dream career. With a new self-titled album coming out and a growing legion of fans, Daigle is now sharing her soulfully raspy voice and her deeply held faith with the world.
